Justice League: The New Frontier (2008)
We stand, today, on the edge of a new frontier...
The human race is threatened by a powerful creature, and only the combined power of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and The Flash can stop it. But can they overcome their differences to thwart this enemy using the combined strength of their newly formed Justice League?
In Justice League: The New Frontier, consciousness is carried by aliens — a plane of “alien invasion”. The story fights on E8/E14 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing war, heroism, unity, existential, government.
